Arachnophobic doctor Ross Jennings (Jeff Daniels) moves with his wife (Harley Jane Kozak) and kids to a small town in the country where he intends to set up practice. Unfortunately, the new family home becomes over-run by highly venomous spiders, the offspring of a Venezuelan arachnid that hitched a ride to the States in the coffin of a dead photographer.
If you're one of those people who turn to jelly at the sight of a spider, then Arachnophobia is guaranteed to terrify. It might be strictly PG, but thanks to the use of real creepy-crawlies throughout (with just a few not-so-convincing animatronic arachnids for the larger specimens), the film will have arachnophobes on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
Even if you're not afraid of the eight-legged horrors, Arachnophobia should still prove a fun ride for the duration, with slick direction from Frank Marshall, spirited performances, some well-executed jump scares, and the great production values one expects from a Steven Spielberg-backed flick.
